In reading this article the writer could have paid closer attention to the name of the deceased. I am sure his family is distraught enough withut having to read this poorly written blur. The name is Dean Dixon not Harwood. Referring to Harwood’s body and Harwood’s vehicle is disrepectful and a formal apology should be made to the family immediatley.

Thank you, commenters. The police gave the wrong town to begin with, then the papers got hold if it and it just gets worse and worse. Dean Dixon was from Galesville, and was 51. I have emailed for corrections, but they do not seem to care enough to reply.
